I saw this video popping like crazy on my X feed today. Seems to be another instance of a controversial arrest of a black man (here Tyreek Hill) in America and as expected, everybody picked a side. I watched the whole video, but I have to say, I'm a bit confused. A few thoughts: -The officers looked short tempered and agressive, but not at first. -Hill kept calling the officers "bro" πŸ™„ -Hill rolled up his tainted window while interacting with the officer 🚩 -Refused to sit down after being asked to. Said it's because he just had knee surgery, but also, played football later that day? πŸ€” -The guy in the other car not showing his Driver's licence after being asked 10 times. I mean, I know there's history of police violence, even police killing citizens in the US. But in this case, there's none of that (there's been rough handling of Hill for sure, but Hill didnt show his best behavior either), so I'm really curious as to why it seems to have become such a controversial arrest? 😳

grateful you are surfacing some facts and possible exposing yourself to attacks. I hold both views at the same time that there sadly is still wide-spread systemic racism in the US and in most parts of the world (live in the UK) - AND - that any blatant misrepresentations by the digital mob is not helping but hindering overcoming the above. i recommend listening to Sam Harris pod on race riots and BME a few years back. Very sobering stats on police violence. Anyway, perception IS reality, isn't it?
